Not necessarily: Being aware that there is a mental health problem does not mean that a person isn't schizophrenic. Please seek a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to know definitively. Discuss your fears.

Consult: It is better to consult with a Psychologist who can administer psychological evaluation than to try to figure this out yourself.
